rubus spectabilis olympic double
 

rubus spectabilis olympic double.
Does anyone grow this? I saw it at an open garden on Saturday, with
ripening berries and the owner raved about the beautiful flowers.
Before tracking it down further, can anyone tell me;
1) Is it invasive
2) Are the berries worth eating? I tried one but it wasn't ripe. The
owner had never eaten them, and was aghast that I ate it!!

I haven't heard of it being so, and Bean implies not.

Bean implies that they aren't exciting, but not distasteful.
